The aim of this paper is to indicate a diverse nature of the issues investigated in public policy sciences, particularly emphasizing the importance of the health policy in explaining social reality. By resolving public problems, numerous needs of society, inter alia, health needs can be met. One of the sciences which explains social problems and public policy has an interest in is the health policy. Both the health policy and public policy have two dimensions, i.e. applicable and theoretical. In terms of 'applicable' one, active participation of all social life entities affecting awareness of developing health resources is vital. And in the theoretical one, as a science, health policy addresses theoretical problems related to satisfying health needs of individual and collective populations. However, in the existing definitions of the health policy, there is no reference to "health needs". One can only assume that this category is used intuitively as it is hard to imagine numerous activities and decisions taken without identifying the needs, so that the health system could meet them. Reverting to health policy in its practical sense it is crucial to teach the public responsibility for their own behavior towards health. Health education deals with the skills needed to care about health in an accountable and independent way. This kind of education plays an important part in the implementation of public policy since its task is not only to transfer knowledge, but also to develop skills to make informed choices and decisions and thus to shape a democratic society with an independent way of thinking. The applicable role of the health policy is to improve the management of the health sector. In this respect, the organization of the treatment process, which is to provide comprehensive medical care for patients and therefore to improve the existing relations of a public nature, is essential.

Inquiry-based teaching is an approach that carries the same steps as the process of producing scientific knowledge, where the student is at the center of learning, and where teachers must develop the inquiry skills of both themselves and their students. It can be said that in the first years of childhood, the person students spend the most time with, after their families, is their classroom teacher. The basic knowledge taught in primary school forms the basis of the following levels. An innovative strategy method is essential in the development and implementation of educational activities with a research-based teaching approach. However, teachers need time, resources, training and support to effectively implement inquiry-based teaching in their classrooms and develop inquiry skills. TÜBİTAK 4004 "MAT-SOR Inquiry-Based Activity Development Camp" project was carried out to support classroom teachers within the scope of the Science and Community Support Programs Mathematics Year Special Call. The project aims to increase the competencies of classroom teachers in developing activity plans and to ensure that they acquire the skills required by the 21st century. Within the scope of this project, "mystery boxes" training was organized to help classroom teachers recognize and improve their skills in understanding science and inquiry-based teaching practices. For this purpose, teachers' opinions were taken with open-ended questions before and after the training. The data of the research was obtained from 25 teachers who participated in the project. The data obtained was analyzed using the content analysis method, which is one of the qualitative analysis methods. Three researchers conducted analyzes independently, and then themes and categories were determined. As a result of the study, it was determined that teachers' ideas about science improved, and their ideas about the steps of inquiry-based teaching in general emerged. It can be stated that providing new methods and approaches and applied training contributes to developing educational activities for individuals.

This paper describes the phenomenon 'predatory conferences', the characteristics of predatory conferences, and it describes the problems they cause for science. Predatory conferences fail to properly manage peer review, frequently have imaginary conference committee, do not operate any quality control, are unclear about payment requirements and about conference organizer or location. Towards the end of the paper it is discussed what can and should be done to eliminate or reduce the effects of predatory conferences.

2019 yılının son aylarında Çin'de meydana gelen koronavirüs salgını tüm dünyaya yayılarak toplumun yaşam akışını bozmuş ve birçok alanı etkileyerek değişime neden olmuştur. Eğitim de etkilenen bu alanlardan biridir. Bu salgının eğitim üzerindeki en büyük etkisi; Tüm dünyada okulların kapatılması ve yüz yüze eğitimin askıya alınmasıdır. Eğitimin aksamaması adına farklı yazılım türleri ve uygulamalar üzerinden uzaktan eğitim sistemi yürütülmeye çalışılmıştır. Türkiye de salgın sürecinde varolan teknolojik imkânları kullanarak öğretmen ve öğrencilerin internete erişim düzeylerine ve teknolojiyi kullanma becerilerine göre uzaktan eğitimi uygulamaya çalışmıştır. Bu süreçte alt yapısı güçlendirilmiş yapay zekâ tabanlı sosyal eğitim platformu olan EBA kullanılmıştır. Canlı ders uygulamasının platforma eklenmesiyle EBA, uzaktan eğitimin etkin aracı haline gelmiştir. EBA canlı ders uygulaması, öğretmenlerin öğrencileriyle eğitim faaliyetlerini uzaktan sürdürmelerine ve etkili iletişim kurmalarına olanak sağlayan bir ortamdır. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, EBA canlı ders uygulamasını kullanan sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinin bakış açısıyla uzaktan eğitim sürecini değerlendirmektir. Bu süreçte öğretmen merkezli bir yaklaşımın uygulanması nedeniyle, yeni öğrenme-öğretme sürecinin planlanması, uygulanması ve uzaktan eğitim etkinliklerinin sosyal bilgiler dersine yansımasının değerlendirilmesinde öğretmen görüşleri büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmada, temel yorumlayıcı nitel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu uzaktan eğitim döneminde Nevşehir ilinde görev yapan 17 Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmeni oluşturur. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak, elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bu analizler doğrultusunda EBA canlı ders uygulamasının; öğrenme-öğretme sürecinde kullanımı, sorunları, olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerine ilişkin çeşitli bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Bu bulgulara göre; EBA canlı ders uygulamasının öğrenme-öğretme sürecinde kullanımının; Sosyal Bilgiler dersinin amaçlarına ulaşılmaması, konu ve kavram aktarımında sürekli tekrara ihtiyaç duyulması, soyut kavramların öğretiminde güçlükler, öğrenci ve öğretmenlerde motivasyon kaybı, bilinçsizlik gibi sebeplerle yeterli olmadığı görülmüştür. Buna ek olarak uzaktan eğitimin öğrenci ve öğretmenlerin sosyal yaşamına olumsuz etkileri Sosyal Bilgilerin tasarlanış amacına ters düşmektedir. Salgın süreci boyunca eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerinin sürdürülmesi, zamandan ve mekândan tasarruf sağlanması, derslerin yüz yüze eğitime göre daha hızlı işlenmesi, ailenin süreçte aktif rol alması, EBA canlı ders uygulamasının olumlu yönleri arasında yer alır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; Öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitim sürecinde sosyalleşmesini sağlayacak ders etkinlikleri ve dijital materyaller tasarlanmalıdır. Yine bu süreçte bireylerin sosyal yaşamdaki sorumlulukları dikkate alınarak öğretmen-öğrenci-aile arasındaki iletişim güçlendirilmelidir.

Modernitenin dinî metinleri anlama konusunda en önemli etkisi; akıl, doğa kanunları, pozitif bilimlerin bulgularıyla nasların çatışması ya da çatışır gibi görünmesi durumunda söz konusu işkâlin nasıl çözüleceğinde kendisini göstermiştir. Modern dönem öncesinde de akıl ve müşahede ile nakil arasındaki çatışma mevzu edilmişse de bugün asıl gerilim din ve bilim çatışması şeklinde tezahür etmektedir. Sübut açısından kat'î olduğu için âyetlerle çatışma halinde genellikle çeşitli tevil ya da telif yolları tercih edilse de hadislerin tevilinden ziyade tasfiyesine öncelik verildiği rahatlıkla söylenebilir. Diğer bir ifade ile XIX. yüzyıldan itibaren gittikçe geniş kitleye yayılan hadise yönelik eleştirel yaklaşımlar genelde tasfiyeci bir tutum benimsemiştir. Bununla birlikte eleştirel yaklaşımlar aynı zamanda her aşırı tavır gibi savunmacı bir reflekse de neden olmuştur. Savunmacı refleks de bazı hadisler hakkında modern dönem öncesinde hadis âlimlerinin dile getirdiği tenkitleri dahi görmezden gelebilmekte ya da önemsizleştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Çeşitli tariklerinde Hz. Âdem'in 60 zirâ (yaklaşık 28 m.) boyunda yaratıldığı ve insanoğlunun boyunun tedrîcen kısaldığını bildiren hadis1 aktarılan farklı eğilimlerin izini sürmek için birçok açıdan uygun bir örnektir. Zira, Kur'an'da yer almayan bu bilgi Sahîhayn gibi İslam âlimlerince otoritesi kabul edilmiş iki kaynakta geçmekte ve ihtiva ettiği bilgi de fizik, biyoloji, genetik bilimlerine aykırı olmasının yanı sıra arkeolojik delillerle de desteklenmemektedir. Kısacası söz konusu hadis; din-bilim çatışması, Sahîhayn'ın otoritesi, İsrâiliyat gibi modern dönemin önemli tartışma konularıyla irtibatlıdır. Hadis sahasında titiz çalışmalarıyla tanınan araştırmacı Muntasir Zaman, Hz. Âdem'in boyu ile ilgili söz konusu hadisi The Height of Prophet Adam: At the Crossroads of Science & Scripture adlı kitabında yukarıda işaret edilen bütün boyutlarıyla ele alarak rivayetle ilgili akla gelebilecek hemen her soruya cevap vermeye çalışmaktadır. Hz. Âdem'in boyunun gökyüzüne ulaştığına dair bir ifadenin Talmud'da geçtiğine işaret eden (s. 17) ve çeşitli vesilelerle meselenin İsrâiliyat ile alakasına da dikkat çeken Zaman'ın kitabının sonunda çağdaş hadis araştırmacıları arasında haklı bir üne sahip Jonathan A.C. Brown tarafından kaleme alınmış "The Problem of Isrā'īliyyāt" (İsrâiliyat Meselesi) başlıklı bir son söz de yer almaktadır.

The aim of the article is to take a broader look at the current situation related to the implementation of 5G technology in Poland from a social perspective. The analysis was conducted in a broader context – Poles' attitudes towards science and technology as well as their knowledge about modern technologies. In addition to an analysis of the literature on the subject, the article will present the results of two parallel studies conducted using three research methods: the focus method, in-depth expert interviews and a questionnaire conducted on the basis of direct interviews at respondents' homes. The article reflects on, inter alia, questions about the attitudes of Poles to the development of science and technology, in particular to 5G technology, and whether the development of modern technologies is a cause of social anxiety among Poles. Research on the social perception of the 5G network in Poland shows that Poles are not familiar with 5G technology. Their ignorance results from poorly conducted technological education, insufficient public information provided by state authorities, public distrust of the authorities as an unreliable source of information, and the hermetic language used by telecommunications specialists. The disinformation aimed at delaying the implementation of this technology in Europe, also being related to the war over 5G technology between the United States and China, has a great impact on the negative perception of the 5G technology in Polish society.

Social cooperatives in the function of social enterprises are classified as a group of employers of the open labour market. In view of their specific functioning they prepare and offer some work places to people being away from the labour market. The article attempts to characterize and evaluate the existing funding opportunities for social economy enterprises in Poland on the example of social cooperatives of legal entities in the context of the development of social economy in the area of social policy understood as one of the components of public policy. This article is a review of the current scientific literature in the field of social entrepreneurship and current legislation on social cooperatives. The presented data suggests that currently, social cooperatives have various forms and sources of financing for their activities. They operate in the sphere of public utilities, filling the gap in the provision of publicly available services which cannot be filled by free market entities or state institutions. Their activity is financed mainly from own funds, which can be supplemented with financial support from the state budget or a local government unit as well as bank loans and the European Union fund.

This study was carried out to examine the thoughts and perspectives of Kadirli Faculty of Applied Sciences students about distance education and to reveal the thoughts and suggestions of these students in this direction. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with a total of 153 students by communicating with the students in the faculty via the digital platform.
This study was approved by Osmaniye Korkut Ata University Science Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Committee (2021/2/3).
62.1% of the students participating in the study are female and 37.9% are male. In the age range evaluation, it was observed that 94.8% of them consisted of young students between the ages of 18-30. In the study, it is seen that 45.8% of the students who participated in the survey were in the 1st grade, 21.6% were in the 2nd grade, 19% were in the 4th grade and 11.1% were in the 3rd grade. The students were asked about the departments they studied, and 42.5% of them stated that they were in gastronomy and culinary arts, 24.2% of them were in food technology, 22.9% of them were in organic agriculture management, 10.5% of them were recreation management and 2% were postgraduate students. When students were asked about their technology ownership, it was seen that 56.2% of the participants had sufficient technological equipment to participate in online courses; To the question of what would be your education preference if the conditions were suitable for the students, 72.5% of the answers were formal education, 15.7% distance education, 11.8% coeducation.
It has been seen that the biggest reason for the preference of distance education is due to the necessity due to the pandemic; it has been concluded that the health factor is more important than the education factor. The rate of those who think this way is 69.9%. The students were asked whether the online processing of the courses was sufficient for learning, and 54.9% of them stated that it was partially sufficient; 35.3% of them gave a negative opinion saying that it is not enough. When asked how the duration of the lessons should be, 43.8% of the participants stated that it is more appropriate that the duration of the lecture should vary according to the subject of the lesson. When the students were asked what is the biggest problem they encounter in the online course, it was emphasized that the biggest problem with 48.4% was the inaccessibility of the course due to the disconnection of electricity or the internet.
